Jerry's 2018 resolutions

These 5 resolutions are my goals 2018.   With help from my Cohort, my family, and my friends, I anticipate reaching my goals and improving not only myself, but in working on these goals daily, helping others with in reaching their goals as well.  

2018 Goals (in acronyms)

1.  DEAL - Dissertation, enhancing (i.e. self) and learning (i.e. researching).  I made a DEAL with one of my cohort friends (i.e. Seth) that we would both strive to work on our dissertation's and finish our goal by the end of the year (i.e. 2018).  

2.  IQS - I quit sugar, I bought a book from Amazon for my Kindle that I plan on following to the letter starting on Monday, 1 January 2018 (https://www.amazon.com/Quit-Sugar-Complete-Program-Cookbook/dp/0804186014/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514668197&sr=8-1&keywords=i+quit+sugar+by+sarah+wilson).  I quit sugar with Ann Brice last year for about 2 months and I felt betterand lost considerable weight.  I am hitting my goal twice as hard this year and hope to be at 240 pounds by March 31st, 2018.  

3.  BFL - Body for Life - I will continue to work out but have a more steadfast approach and not make excuses to skip a day.

4.  GTD - I use the "Getting Things Done" concept already (i.e. with help from Brian), but plan on improving the process over the next year to continue to meet my professional goals.  (https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0143126563/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1514668490&sr=1-1&keywords=getting+things+done)

5.  BMM.  Budget my money.  I will tighten my belt a bit and not spend as much on frivolous items, but save for the lot Donna and I are planning on buying in Myrtle Beach, SC.
